Train Art

Train Art – or graffiti – There are some trains in the Houston area, and some of them are decorated with graffiti,  the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked, sometimes regarded as a form of art and other times regarded as vandalism. Together with the official marks and signs on this part of the train – we found it rather fascinating!

This image was a hard to frame and align, as there are elements in both the vertical direction and horizontal direction, we decided to let the bright red take the lead…

Tog Kunst – eller grafitti. Det er en del tog i Houston området og noen av dem er dekorert med grafitti, denne uttrykksformen som noen ganger blir beskrevet som kunst, andre ganger som vandalisme. Sammen med de mere offiselle merker og symboler på denne delen av togvognen fant vi det ganske fascinerenede!

Bildet var vanskelig å beskjære og rette opp, det er ikke samsvar mellom graffiti/markeringene og togets horisontale og vertikale linjer. Til slutt lot vi den klare røde fargen få bestemme…

  1. Well thought out and executed. Love this. It’s amazing how this would look horrible on a train passing by but make such a beautifully artistic presentation in a photograph. The colors are wonderful and vibrant, but I can still sense an undercoat of rust. Great detail.

  2. It’s nice to be able to capture a shot once in a while, where you have lots of colours without if feeling cluttered. This is a good example, cheerful.

  5. Wonderfull, the art pops out of the picture … well done and not easy to get the art of others into a single image …

  6. Ja, kunst eller vandalisme kan sikkert diskuteres i all tid, men det er faktsik mye av det som er utrolig flott.

  7. Great contrasts, and then it has to be in the eyes of the looker if it is vandalism or art :) This looks more or less like skribbling to me though. ;)

  10. Nice find. I like the bright and the washed-out colors. And the mix of “official” and “art” writing on the wall.
